Cards Against Humanity Behind The Scenes and Signal Preview From NAB 2014

In this video, recorded by Cineversity at NAB 2014, I will show you some behind the scenes of a project we helped make with Cards Against Humanity for the Bigger Blacker Box. Then, at minute 15, I preview Greyscalegorilla’s upcoming animation plugin called Signal. Sign up for the Signal Newsletter to learn more as we prepare to launch this new animation tool.

To stay in tune with Maxon’s animation recording keyframes, I would suggest NOT putting a big yellow X through Signal’s tag icon, but put a big red dot, like when Cinema sets a keyframe. Your big yellow X suggests there is something wrong or missing imho.

Can’t believe I didn’t know about camera morph. On my last few projects I’ve been switching between cameras thinking about how nice it would be to use the between-camera transitions as a final camera move. Sure enough it exists already. Awesome!

Signal looks like an awesome plugin, but as a hobbyist who cannot afford to constantly update an expensive program like Cinema 4D I am disappointed that it will only run in version R14 and above. It seemed like there was a significant change in the program with R13 that separated out a lot of previous compatibilities and I was wondering why Signal won’t work in R13?

So that’s what you guys were up to. I thought it had been a bit quiet around here. (not that all the guest tuts weren’t great)

Question: For someone that doesn’t know much about scripts…. The scripts that you were using for Signal, are they all created in XPresso? or do you write them in Python/Coffee? Right click and save tag preset??

ie: Is there an easy way to save/reuse/trade animations that you created and might want to reuse in the future.
I’m sure this will probably be covered when its actually released.. but I was just curious
